Article 471
Everyone was stunned, even Qingyi and the three princesses, all eyes were focused on the emperor, but the emperor was secretly angry, and in an instant, the queen's mouth opened widely, as if she couldn't believe it, and she seemed to be panicked, but she couldn't even say a word. And Ouyang Hongyu's expression was not much better, and after a moment, when everyone saw Gonggong Qin walking forward in a dilemma, they realized that it was not their hallucination just now.
"Your Majesty, the Empress Niang" Ouyang Hongyu almost immediately stepped forward to speak to the Empress, but was interrupted by the Empress Dowager: "Hongyu, you send the Empress back now"
Everyone fell silent again, the atmosphere gradually became solemn, Ouyang Hongyu had just taken two steps, and before she walked to Yu Haoxuan's side, she was interrupted so bluntly, stunned in place, embarrassed to step forward, not to retreat, and her slightly pale face suddenly became even paler.
It wasn't until Gonggong Qin cleverly walked to Ouyang Hongyu's side and respectfully reminded: "Fill the mother, please", that she suddenly came back to her senses, but after raising her head and glancing at the expressionless Yu Haoxuan, she lowered her head and gritted her teeth and walked to the queen's side to persuade her, and then helped the slightly sluggish queen to leave.
The Queen Mother looked at the two of them leaving, she was so angry, it seemed that she was disappointed in the queen, but she didn't say anything, just glanced back at the emperor and Qingyi, sighed heavily, casually called the name of the third princess, and went into the bedroom to ask the imperial doctor about the diagnosis and treatment.
Qingyi looked at the figure of the queen looking back frequently, but her heart was a little cold, pursed her lips, turned around, looked at Yu Haoxuan, who was silent, and asked softly: "The emperor is angry?" ”
Perhaps he never thought that Yu Haoxuan would give the queen a disgrace on such an occasion, so Qingyi couldn't find a better explanation for a while.
Yu Haoxuan looked at Qingyi, was silent for a long time, and then raised his hand to caress Qingyi's long hair, sighed, and said, "I'm not angry, I've long been worn away by everything around me to get angry."
Qingyi's body froze slightly, and suddenly he didn't dare to look into his eyes for a moment, but his slender fingers hooked her chin, forcing her to face his calm but hidden horror depth.
"The emperor's words, the concubines don't understand," Qingyi was a little slurred. At this moment, she really didn't know how to react, this man seemed to know a lot, but he didn't seem to know anything, the look in his eyes seemed to be tired, but it seemed to be completely certain, psychedelic and she couldn't discern.
Listening to Qingyi's words, Yu Haoxuan slowly lowered his head, so close that he almost smelled Qingyi's breath, and then, he closed his eyes and said lightly: "Qingyi doesn't need to understand, just stay by my side and watch." ”
The soft voice didn't have a little ripple, but it made Qingyi tremble, making Qingyi gasp lightly, pursed her lips and said: "The concubine will always be by the emperor's side, always"
Yu Haoxuan opened his eyes and looked at Qingyi's clear eyes and slightly trembling body, chuckled, touched her cheek with his fingers, and leaned over to kiss her eyebrows.
"Qingyi, why do you always say it so differently, but you can't do it"
The words that seemed to be intimate sounded in Qingyi's ears, so gentle, but as soft as Ling Chi's sword, so that Qingyi pushed him away in shock, but his body was pulled into his arms, the big hand around his waist, so powerful, but like that, people were afraid that the queen was grounded and thought about it, this matter set off a lot of waves in the harem, Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu did not expect that they were sick and did not want to go to the 'Changqing Palace' to miss such a good show.
Shangguan Wan'er and Dui Ci are afraid that they even dream about how to suppress the queen, and now this matter has been 'done' by Xiao Tong so smoothly, but the two are still mixed. Happily, Xiao Tong finally became the concubine of the harem, and the worry is because Xiao Tong is not only Du Ci's own sister, but also one of the reasons why Shangguan Zhong joined the Du family.
In the 'Sidui Palace', Shangguan Wan'er sat bored in the palace, listening to Qingrong's report on the big and small things in the palace in the past few days, and the green jade hand waved tirelessly when she heard the general, and then got up very tiredly, and said irritably: "It's all some inconsequential things, this palace is tired of listening."
Qingrong closed the book, threw the book on the table, knocked the jade finger on the book twice, twisted his eyebrows, and said: "Miss, now that the enemy is outnumbered, even if the queen is not good, there is also Ouyang Hongyu, we can't take it lightly."
Speaking of Ouyang Hongyu, Shangguan Wan'er's eyebrows began to be entangled, but she still didn't care about picking up the tea bowl and taking a sip, and sneered: "Qingrong, don't worry, Ouyang Hongyu was indeed a powerful character in the past, but", speaking of this, Shangguan Wan'er said a little proudly: "Now at this time and that time, we have Xiao Tong as a shield." ”
Thinking of Xiao Tong's incomprehensible woman, although Shangguan Wan'er hated it so much that she almost didn't bite her silver teeth, she still had to admire her ability to act, and now even the queen was grounded by the emperor because of her, this woman must be her Shangguan family's fierce rival in the future.
Qingrong heard Shangguan Wan'er say, and there were a few doubts in her eyes, but after thinking about it repeatedly, she pursed her lips and said indifferently: "Miss, since the queen's matter has become a foregone conclusion, it may not be a good thing for us to participate in it, it is better to withdraw from it, if Ouyang Hongyu wants to rescue, we can follow the emperor's wishes."
Shangguan Wan'er lowered her eyelashes, looked at the pure gold jade armor on her nails, smiled lightly at the corner of her mouth, and then slowly got up and stepped out of the hall, a brocade dress shimmering in the noon sun, and the gold hairpin jade pendant on her sideburns was very luxurious.
Qingrong followed him, and when he stood outside the hall, he playfully stretched out his hand to cover the sunlight in front of his forehead, and his eyelashes left a shadow under his eyes, and suddenly thought of something, turned his head to look at Shangguan Wan'er, and said with a smile: "Although the situation is undecided now, Miss Dao still has something to do." \/\/”
Shangguan Wan'er turned her head suspiciously, her eyes were puzzled, but she saw a sneer on the corner of Qingrong's mouth: "Miss forgot about the banquet that day?" ”
Shangguan Wan'er's eyes suddenly turned cold, her heart immediately became clear, her expression was much colder, she took a deep breath, and said, "Qingrong is saying that flowers are like frost?" ”
"Exactly, although Hua Rushuang was born as a dancing girl, but her dance in the 'Jinluan Palace' has won the hearts of the king, since I came to Huaiyue Taizu, there is no concubine who can be given by the emperor, Miss should be careful" Qingrong stood beside Shangguan Wan'er, her voice was extremely soft, but every word pierced into the heart of the virtuous concubine.
As if thinking of the scene of the banquet that day, Shangguan Wan'er's eyebrows gradually twisted, and the hand stroking the long sleeves gradually froze, and Xiao Tong's praise for the flowers that day suddenly floated in his ears, and his heart was cold, and then he said coldly: "You go to check the bottom of the flower beauty first, and do it at the right time."
Qingrong smiled knowingly and took the order
Approaching the evening, the news of the three princes' strange illness and self-healing came out in the 'Changqing Palace', which made many people confused for a while, what is 'self-healing'?
As soon as the news came out, the harem was lively again, there were different opinions, the ghosts and snakes and gods said that they did not go away, the queen mother was the person who recited the Buddha, although the Buddha did not accept the ghosts and gods, but the queen mother still ordered someone to invite the host of Xiangguo Temple to come and chant the scriptures, and three days later set up an altar in the 'Changqing Palace'.
In the Chaoen Hall of the 'Ningxue Palace', Xiao Tong led several palace maids to pass on dinner, and then walked into the bedroom, and said softly: "Miss, dinner has been prepared, but the emperor has not come yet."
Qingyi stood in front of the window with his back to Xiao Tong, holding the flower carving in front of the window with his bare hands, and when he heard Xiao Tong's words, he just responded lightly, and then turned around and walked to the table, and said casually: "What is the movement between Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu?" ”
Xiao Tong took a few steps forward, lit the candlestick on the desk, pursed his lips and smiled: "What else can there be, it must be to deal with the flower beauty", the harem is complicated, every concubine wants to get a piece of the soup, how can she allow others to fight for it?
Qingyi nodded, and said that he was not surprised at all, and tapped the book on the desk with his bare hand, and then put it into the newly added bookcase on the side, rubbing the rough writing with his fingertips, as if he was thinking about something.
Xiao Tong saw this, but she didn't know what to say, Miss's mind became more and more difficult for her to understand, although she believed that with Miss's intelligence, it was just around the corner to ascend to the throne like a moon, but the complexity of the process made her rack her brains and difficult to straighten out.
After a while, I only heard a scream outside the hall: "The emperor has arrived-"
Qingyi's hand trembled, a tingling pain spread on the fingertips, and the bright red blood was slightly revealed. Retracting his hand, hiding it in his sleeve, Qingyi looked at the page that had scratched his fingers, pulled down his long eyelashes, and then turned around and stepped out of the bedroom.
"The concubine sees the emperor" Qingyi saluted Yu Haoxuan in front of the Chaoen Palace, stood with a light smile, his eyes were soft, he walked forward, held Yu Haoxuan's long sleeves, and said: "The emperor sits"
Yu Haoxuan looked at Qingyi, he still couldn't see any emotion in his eyes, he just sat down obediently, and then found that the table was full of delicacies, his sword eyebrows moved, but he saw that Qingyi had already taken a piece of fish fillet and put it in his bowl, and his soft voice was a little jerky: "Your Majesty, this is a fish fillet made by the concubine herself, you can taste it", he said, and took another piece into his bowl.
Gonggong Qin, who was standing on the side, was stunned, he looked at the bowl of boiled fish, and then quickly took out the silver needle from his arms, stretched out his hand to stab the plate of boiled fish fillets, for a while, the palace maids of the 'Ning Xue Palace' were a little caught off guard, and Xiao Tong looked at the action of Gonggong Qin in astonishment, at this moment, the silver needle had been submerged in the soup.
Qingyi's movement of chopsticks also stagnated, she turned her head to look at Yu Haoxuan, but saw that he was expressionless, just looking at the silver needle in the hand of Gonggong Qin, when she saw that the silver needle was still in its original color when it was taken out of the soup, she moved the chopsticks to eat, as if what happened just now was very ordinary.
"The fish is light and tender, and it tastes delicious" Yu Haoxuan suddenly said after taking a bite, turned to look at Qingyi, and his tone was full of smiles: "I didn't expect Qingyi to be able to cook and make such delicious", he ate all the rest, with a smile in his eyes.
Xiao Tong saw a hint of gloom in Qingyi's eyes, and her heart was a little blocked, she blessed Yu Hao Xuan, and then walked outside the main hall, there were still a few dishes in the imperial kitchen that had not yet been served.
Qingyi looked at Yu Haoxuan's seemingly unconcealed look, there was an indescribable sourness in her heart, her hand moved, and the chopsticks fell to the ground without noticing, until the sound of jade shattering sounded, Qingyi suddenly came back to her senses.
Yu Haoxuan was also stunned by this voice, and turned his head to look at Qingyi, but Qingyi had already withdrawn his gaze, and looked fixedly at the jade chopsticks that fell on the floor carved with hundreds of flowers, the emotions in his eyes were tangled, and the scattered broken jade was more like a mockery of himself.
"Qingyi?" Yu Haoxuan shouted softly, looking at her with some doubts, while Qingyi raised her head slightly and smiled back, although the smile had a gloom that could not be hidden, but still said softly: "The concubine broke the warm clothes of dozens of soldiers at the border pass."
Yu Haoxuan's eyebrows moved, quietly looking at Qingyi's distracted appearance, suddenly chuckled, stretched out his hand to cover Qingyi's slenderness, but didn't say anything again
The moonlit night is silent, and everything is lonely. ]
In the bedroom, the candle flame has been extinguished, the window shadow is afterglow, the breeze is gently blowing the curtain tent, and the faint fragrance is floating.
On the bed, Qingyi was already asleep, and the sparse moonlight sprinkled down, a little melancholy between the eyebrows could be clearly seen, and the long eyelashes trembled from time to time, extremely uneasy.
Yu Haoxuan was half lying on her side, her lazy expression was a little soft, one hand was propped up behind her head, her black hair was like a cloud, scattered behind her, hanging down on the silk peony embroidered pillow, and her slender fingers caressed Qingyi's eyebrows, as if to smooth out the melancholy a little bit.
However, the softer he was, the deeper the depression between Qingyi's eyebrows, and the more eager he wanted to caress it, but she slept more and more restlessly, and even began to dodge his touch
Yu Haoxuan's hand slowly stopped, but it remained between her eyebrows, and then gently lifted the strands of hair that fell on her forehead, gently wrapped it behind her ears, and ran her fingertips across her eyebrows until it touched the hideous pink scar, and then stopped again.
This scar is a finger long, and after a few years, the original sinuous wound has long since turned into a pink color that is extremely incongruous with the skin color, but even so, its existence still ruins the original delicate face that should be Allure.
"Beauty" Yu Haoxuan's deep voice fluctuated slightly, in the night, the dark blue pupils contained unknown emotions, he bowed his head slightly, and his warm thin lips kissed lightly on the scar.
Xu is Qingyi felt the oncoming breath, her Ao Dai twisted lightly, her long eyelashes lightly, and then opened her eyes in the fine scar that Yu Haoxuan seemed to kiss away, and then opened her eyes wide and looked at the handsome man who was so handsome that she couldn't breathe in the moonlight.
"Awake?" The low voice was a little hoarse, the dark blue eyes were extraordinarily deep, and the big hand gently supported Qingyi's body, let her pill on her arm, and then hugged her tightly in her arms: "I woke you up"
Qingyi trembled her long eyelashes lightly, lowered it slightly, retracted the moment of distraction just now, smelled the faint ambergris on Yu Haoxuan's body, closed her eyes again, and said lightly: "It's the concubine who can't sleep."
"En" Yu Haoxuan responded, put his chin against Qingyi's forehead, the warm breath sprayed on her hair, and then lowered his head and kissed her forehead, his voice was full of softness: "Qingyi, can you tell me what you are thinking?" ”
His heart trembled, Qingyi's eyes opened suddenly, his long eyelashes crossed the clothes on his chest, the sleepiness just now disappeared completely, his eyes showed tiredness and sadness, his pink lips pursed slightly, and he wanted to say something, but he was rejected by his cognition to test himself. [
The little bitterness at the corner of his mouth overflowed, filling his entire chest, and his plain hand was lightly pressed against his chest, feeling that this would become Ling Chi's own warmth at any time, his ten fingers gradually closed, smiled softly, and murmured: "The concubine is thinking, why doesn't the emperor sleep yet"
Yu Haoxuan closed his eyes, and when he heard Qingyi answer like this, he didn't make a sound, but just hugged her body tighter, so that the two of them fit inseparably, and only later did he hear his low dream-like voice: "Because I want to know why Qingyi is so uneasy even to sleep", and then, he looked down at Qingyi's drooping eyes, and his voice was seductive: "Tell me why Qingyi is still so uneasy in my arms"
